What do you think of when you think of
confrontation?

Time Heals all Wounds
Agree or disagree? And why?
10
Psalm 1415 5 Let a righteous man strike meit is
a kindness let him rebuke meit is oil for my
head let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is
continually against their evil deeds Proverbs
98 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate
you reprove a wise man, and he will love
you. Proverbs 275-6 5 Better is open rebuke
than hidden love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a
friend profuse are the kisses of an
enemy. Hebrews 125-6 5 And have you forgotten
the exhortation that addresses you as sons? My
son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the
Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For
the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and
chastises every son whom he receives.
11
Is this a truth to be celebrated?
12
Math 1815-17 15 If your brother sins against
you, go and tell him his fault, between you and
him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained
your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take
one or two others along with you, that every
charge may be established by the evidence of two
or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to
them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to
listen even to the church, let him be to you as a
Gentile and a tax collector.
13
Who do we confront?
14
I. You are Your Brothers Keeper A. Whom
Should We Confront
Gen 49 9   Then the Lord said to Cain, Where is
Abel your brother? He said, I do not know am I
my brother's keeper? So are we?
15
I. You are Your Brothers Keeper A. Whom
Should We Confront
Brother
1 John 314 We know that we have passed out of
death into life, because we love the brothers.
Whoever does not love abides in death.Matt
1815 If your brother sins against you, go and
tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If
he listens to you, you have gained your
brother.1 Cor 59-11 9 I wrote to you in my
letter not to associate with sexually immoral
people 10 not at all meaning the sexually
immoral of this world, or the greedy and
swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would
need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am
writing to you not to associate with anyone who
bears the name of brother if he is guilty of
sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater,
reviler, drunkard, or swindlernot even to eat
with such a one.Confronting a brother vs.
evangelizing someone

I. You are Your Brothers Keeper B. What
Sins Should We Confront
Can you confront a bad attitude? Why or why not?
19
I. You are Your Brothers Keeper B. What
Sins Should We Confront
Only sins of action should be confronted,
because evaluating an attitude alone is extremely
difficultjudging what is in someones heart is
simply wrong Rom 144 - Who are you to pass
judgment on the servant of another? It is before
his own master that he stands or falls. And he
will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him
stand. 1 Cor 45 - Therefore do not pronounce
judgment before the time, before the Lord comes,
who will bring to light the things now hidden in
darkness and will disclose the purposes of the
heart. Then each one will receive his
commendation from God.
20
I. You are Your Brothers Keeper B. What
Sins Should We Confront
Dont confront over preference outside of
scripture
Dont use scripture out of context to condemn
something that you dont like
1 Thess 522 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
ESV (Actual context here is false teaching) 22
Abstain from all appearance of evil. KJV
Commonly taken out of context

I. You are Your Brothers Keeper B. What
Sins Should We Confront

How do you know when you shouldnt overlook a
persons sins?
22
I. You are Your Brothers Keeper B. What
Sins Should We Confront

• 1 Peter 48
• 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly,
  since love covers a multitude of sins.
• If the sin creates an unreconciled relationship
  between you and the offender, so that you think
  often about the sin and think badly of him, then
  confrontation is necessary for the sake of unity
  in the body (Matt 523-24 Phil 21-4)
• If you are not confident that the person is
  growing in the direction of Christlikeness by
  regularly confessing his sin and working to
  change, then confronting his sin may be the only
  way to expose his spiritual inertia and help him
  to avoid Gods chastening (Heb 312-14 James
  519-20 2 Peter 15-10)
• If you know that there will be consequences of
  this sin that will hurt others in the offenders
  life, then for their sake you should make sure
  that he has recognized his wrong and repented
  from it. (Matt. 186 1 Cor 56-71226)

When you shouldnt overlook note that this is
not tolerance
